I thought the 99 recieved a different fuel system which changed the hp?

Wikipedia can by it's nature have a lot of mistakes. Anyone can write an article and anyone can ammend it.

However, this part of the article is correct. The 5 hp increase for the SVT did come in 99 and it was due to more extrude honing.

The change to the returnless fuel system mid model year in 99 did not effect the power rating. At or about the same time, the displacement was changed with a slightly smaller bore to better match European engine sizing standards and the compression on the SVT was raised from 10.0:1 to 10.25:1 to keep the power the same.
